Perfect fit. Thank you Brian for helping me get to the right boot and size. Coming off a foot injury wearing ‘ADV’ boots, was referred to Atomic Moto and my buying experience was great! New boots are great!
I prefer the precision of the Crossfire 2 SRS but the comfort of the Crossfire 3TA. The Crossair are far better than both-- very precise shifting, better grip on the pegs, better feel on the pegs, and a comfortable toe box like the TA, but not too wide. The three buckles are great and I can go from no knee braces on my ADV bike around town to knee braces for off-roading and dirt biking without having to adjust the buckles. On/off is easy. The lightness is really great, it will be hard to go back. I wear 9.5 in street shoes and 43 fits perfectly with room for a comfort sole upgrade (always thin wool socks for me btw). I thought about getting the HD version but the trial sole just hooks up too much on the pegs making shifting a PIA (I installed trials soles on my TAs). I don't ride hard enduro--in 1st/2nd gear only with my feet on the ground half the time-- and the Crossair soles are plenty grippy for the technical single track, especially compared to rock hard, slippery SRSs. They're vastly better than a trials sole for ADV riding on and off road because shifting is just easier sitting and standing. I try not to dab on big bikes anyway. They also currently cost about half as much as the HD version.
I upgraded from my old size 11 SG-10s which were in pretty good shape but the plastic buckle straps were starting to break off from age. The SG-12s are very rugged, high quality, quite comfortable, and look great. They feel slightly longer than the SG-10s so thicker-than-street-shoe socks are needed. My street shoe width is "C" so, like all the dirt bike boots I've worn for over 55 years, these are a bit wide but not enough to be annoying. Heavy cold weather socks feel snug. As they break in more and buckles are readjusted I think they'll be fine. Size 10.5 would probably be too snug especially with heavy socks. I would buy these again.
I ordered these boots and once I received them I had some fitment questions. I called and talked to Brian the owner. He spent a lot of time on the phone answering my questions and offering possible solutions. Ultimately, I decided to keep the boots. The whole experience was great and I ended up with a great pair of boots that fit well and comfortable right out of the box!
I have not used them outdoors yet
Brian was patient answering my questions on sizing and helped with the decision to go with the Fastbacks. The boots are great, and so is the customer service!
